Soldiers kill 2 bandits’ informants, recover drugs in Kaduna

Soldiers have gunned down two wanted bandits’ informants and recovered hard drugs at Maraban Bishini in Kachia LGA of Kaduna State.

A community leader, who preferred anonymity, said the suspects were arrested after the soldiers got intelligence information about their movement after they escaped from soldiers at a Kagarko check point on Monday.

He said the soldiers alerted their colleagues who were stationed at Maraban Bishini, and that the suspects, on a motorcycle, also attempted to escape but the soldiers opened fire and killed them on the spot. 

The community leader said cough syrups, hemp, foodstuffs and wines were recovered from the suspects.
